an apple on the airplane and we're home. 

banana! 

the spice rack was alphabetized before riley stopped by. after he left, not so much. 

nama's boots are sweet and they almost fit. 

a story really helps settle the stomach after a big meal. 

riley on his thanksgiving throne. 

and here's a little peek behind the scenes. 

this is the picture you see on the blog... 

you always want to let a horse sniff your hand before you try to pet it. 

hurray for being a baby on a blanket! 

riley made up his own little ritual with the statue in nama's garden. 

nama teaches rye how to make an excellent latte. 

riley's got a mini walking stick and he's ready to go. 

stalking the wild poopchick in its natural habitat. 

first whipped cream exposure. delish. 

that's katrina riding off into the sunset as riley crawls after her. 

backhoe baby bliss. 

i got no pants on! 

but it's not ok when he gets in the wagon. 

riley thinks it's ok when baby levi touches the wagon... 

a fire engine big enough to ride on, will wonders never cease? 

nama's house is full of drums! loud and fun. 

we got stuck in a wicked bad traffic jam on the way to taos. riley set a good example by staying mellow and using the time to catch up on his reading. 

a quick goodbye kiss and we're off to new mexico for thanksgiving. see you in a week. 

ahoy there matey.
